Very expensive but none the less the items are worth it. A HUGE range of confectionery and beverages from all around the world which include the most loved cereal of all time, Lucky Charms. It’s so exciting when you visit this store, exploring all new wonderful items. The store is in the perfect location, set out well, nice and clean! It gets very busy at times, but what do you expect. Staff are very fast serving people on the tills and are very helpful when you ask about a product. You can even shop online and pick up your order from the shop….. easy!!

Well of course I like their sweets! Who doesn’t like Pop Tarts, Butterfinger or Mountain Dew!? On the other side I miss a lot of sweets - especially from the U.S. - which would be perfect for such a shop…

The prices are a little overpriced as well I think… You can get most of the stuff cheaper when searching..

Anyway this is a nice place to grab some candy and therefore still a good recommendation for everyone who loves sweets, candy and U.S. & Chinese Drinks/Food.

i always go in here when i’m on a daytrip to london.
i can stock up on all my faves, like 3 muskateers, junior mints. we even found warheads (SUPER sour sweeties) when we were in last time - i tried these at camp, so it took me back to my lovely summer there.
This is an amazing shop. used to shop on their website when i lived in scotland, but ive now moved down south so can pop in when im in london.
It is expensive for some of the things, but its cheaper than getting a plain ticket to the US for some lovely mountain dew!!

I really like this shop. Okay, so it’s expensive, but you can get all kinds of stuff you can’t get anywhere else from here. Plus, the stuff does come from overseas, so it probably works out cheaper than if you shipped it here yourself. And it does taste better because it’s so different and interesting. Among my personal favourites are the different varieties of Pepsi and Skittles.

I love this shop! there’s hundreds of brightly coloured strange looking candy things from japan which I would love to try. I’m only 18, but i still remember the days when we could get Mountain Dew and Lucky Charms in N.I…. , i hate having to pay the ridiculous prices, but damn…’kid in a candy store’

Fantastic shop - I go in every time I walk past which is quite often! I buy the same thing every time - NERDS! I used to love them as a kid and they don’t sell them anywhere anymore so I’m forced into paying £1.25 for them! Shocking! I used to pay 25p 10 years ago!

Would have given 5 stars if it wasn’t for the RIDICULOUS prices!

I’m like a kid in a sweet shop in this place, only less kid-like? I always pop in here if I’m around Covent garden.
One day I’m going to buy that Giant Pez dispenser!

If you ever feel like you need a trip down memory lane this is a great place to start. The shop offers food and sweets from around the world, including US, China & Oz. The store is only small and can be crowded but is worth it, finding sweets you forgot about - my favourites are the Nerds! Also has big Jelly Beans section, fizzy drinks and Pop tarts, as well as special editions of your favourite choc bars. It amazes me that some of these products are still made - wham bars and highland toffees, that could still take your teeth out.

This shop isn’t cheap, but its great to visit for a little pick me up treat, and can also provide some great presents. Some of the products you can probably find elsewhere - especially the Chinese sweets that can be found in Chinatown, normally at a cheaper price.

This is a great shop in Covent Garden which sells looads of different sweets from different countries like China and America. They also have a wide variety of the old favourite Jelly Beans and a selection of chocolate bars and sweets we haven’t seen in ages. The shop is slightly over-priced but overall a great place to go if you’re bored of the usual Haribos and Cadury’s Dairy Milks.

I love going to this shop in Covent Garden. It is brilliant for stocking up on American sweets, and also sweets from other countries. It is quite expensive, but it is very convenient to buy these types of sweets which are very hard to find anywhere else. They have lots of Hello Kitty things too! There are drinks, cereals, cakes and cookies as well. It is definitely worth a visit - you will love it!

Great place where I buy sweets and chocolate from (mainly American) but also other sweets from countires around the world mainly Australia, Canada, Japan and Sweden. They sell sweets that I had completely forgotten about from when I was younger. It is very expensive the same as all shops selling sweets from abroad but they have a very good range so you are likely to find what you are looking for. This shop is a place I normally go to when in London.

Cyber candy is located near to the Covent Garden market. Despite being a small shop it has thousands of different sweets and candies. You can find sweet from other countries like Japan or Australia and also you are able to purchase from traditional items to special delicatessen. They have some weird things like worms covered in chocolate or candy and also famous TV drinks like Duff (from The Simpsoms) or Slurm (from Futurama). The prices are not very cheap but it worth the money because it would be difficult to find what they are selling in other place. It is also a good place for buying funny presents.

This is a brilliant shop if you can find it in Covent garden. It sells all the sweets which are no longer available in lots of corner shops but which you still love and have forgotten you love! I re-discovered Nerds which can only be bought in this shop and in America and which I miss and am glad i have re-discovered. Overall a brilliant shop if a little small and cramped. You really have to get intimate with the other shoppers.

This is a great little shop in Covent Garden that sells sweets and drinks from all over the world, and if you look downstairs you’ll also find things like cake mixture and cereal.

I went to Canada a few years ago and tried some Mountain Dew which absolutely blew me away, and when I found this place and saw that they had it I bought some immediately. I’m a regular visitor here and I’ve tried different varieties of Mountain Dew plus cans from the US, Canada and Japan.

They have all sorts of other soft drinks from around the world as well as quite a big range of sweets dedicated to Hello Kitty. There’s also a decent Moomins range from Finland. Whatever kind of confectionary you’re looking for you’ll find it here - my favourites are the foreign variations on familiar brands, and amusing sounding chocolate bars such as 'Mr Big’ and 'Plopp’.

If there is one drawback to Cyber Candy it’s the price. At around £1.20 for a bar of chocolate it’s not cheap, but considering where they come from it’s understandable. When I’m in there I feel like a kid in a sweet shop and I usually fill a basked full of stuff - be careful if you try that though because the price will probably be about 3 times that of a normal sweet shop.

Despite the price, a great and unique place, and still the only place I know to buy Mountain Dew in london.

Me and my sister went to America years ago, seriously about twelve years ago. While we were there we found out about Reese’s pieces which are like these small chocolate and peanut butter candies. They were yummy and they sold them over in the UK for a while but then they stopped. Anyway my sister found a shop called Cyber Candy in London and as we were going there for the weekend we thought it would be a perfect time to visit and see if this American candy shop sold Reese’s pieces there.

The address is as follows;

Cybercandy Ltd
3 Garrick Street
Covent Garden
London
WC2E 9BF

So this shop is located in central London and is very easy to find. We didn’t really know where we were going and got off the tube and Garrick street was right there and you can see the shop as it is painted bright blue with a bright sign outside which is huge so you cant really miss it.

The shop looks brilliant when you walk inside as there are just so many interesting sweets and chocolates and even cereals that you will have never seen over here in the UK. The prices are little high whish is fair enough as you are getting something pretty special with this shop. We actually ended up spending quite a bit and do you know what, it was totally worth it.

Each packet of sweets is about £1 each.

Ok so yes you will be pleased to hear that they do sell Reese’s pieces at this shop and they are £1 per bag and really good. They took me and my sister back to when we were little and in America.

Then my fiancé had a forest fruit dairy milk bar and then we had lots of different flavours skittles and my ultimate favourite, almond M and M’s.

This shop is brilliant and the staff there is great so you can ask them for any American sweet that you want and they will know if they have it. The only problem is stopping yourself from buying so much when you are in there. I spent about £11 and could have spent a lot more so you have to be careful if you area sweet a holic like me.

The shop is laid out well with all sweets and chocolate easy to see and identify. We found everything we were after and they are very well stocked with everything. The shop is very clean and actually feels American when you are in there. It is so tidy which is unusual as it has so many little things there it seemed strange that there was nothing everywhere on the floor.

I think the people who own this shop take good care of it which is lovely to see and every single customer in there loves it. We were in there for about twenty minutes and every other customer you could hear saying wow as soon as they walked in the shop and saw what was on offer.

The other good thing about this shop is that if you do not see what you are looking for then you can ask them to try and find it for you which is quite good. Luckily for us they had what we wanted so we didn’t have to ask. Then they even do delivery of your favourite chocolate via the shop or the website which is good if you want to order something in bulk which I am very tempted to do all of the time.

In conclusion I think if you have a sweet tooth then you will love this shop and if you go into London then I really do think you have to visit this shop. They are fantastic and so different to the normal shops you get in the UK. I also think that this shop would be good for presents for Christmas for people if you want something a bit different.

I recommend to all who love sweets.

Thanks for reading.

Very over priced, but considering its from all reaches of the globe such as Japan and America you will find all the sweets (or candy) you’ve ever seen your favourite movie and tv stars munching on. Ideally a good place to visit if you’re one of those quirky people that’s likes given usual presents at Xmas time(or have lied about going on holiday). Personally I love reeses chocolate and you’re also find fruity loops duff beer(actually its just an energy drink) Hershey’s energy savers and hello kitty sweets. But if visit regularly as they always have different stock.

This funky little shop is stocked with every kind of kitch and cult must have candy there is from both home and abroad. Cult american classics such as tootsie rolls mix with blackjacks, fruit salads from my own british childhood and Hello Kitty spray candy from japan and although you may pay a little over the odds for a candy bar here it’s still highly affordable and definately recommended for a fun treat.

Expensive, but exciting and so so tempting! Only a small shop so gets crowded at weekends. So much crazy and novel stuff in here, loads of American goodies that you always hear about such as Hersheys and Twinkies, and lots of crazy Japanese stuff, amongst others. Definitely worth a visit.

Expensive- very expensive. But then this is imported. Great fun though, lots of international sweets, american brands you hear about all the time but heve never tried. Kitch chinese sweets including Hello Kitty branded items. My faveourite are Nerds- which used to be available in the UK and were my favourite as a kid! If you like sweets, or have children, expect to be- well, like a kid in a candy shop!!

This is a treasure trove of sweeties, sodas, and other goodies. I found Double Stuf Oreos here, which sent me into the seventh heaven of happiness. Also this is the only place I could physically find Mountain Dew to buy - needless to say I had trouble restraining myself to just what I could carry. For those who find themselves buying more than they can comfortably take away, their website carries everything in their store and you can have it delivered to you in the comfort of your own home.

I visited Cyber Candy recently and was pleasantly surprised to find such a neat little shop tucked away in Covent Gardens. This shop has many imported sweets and confectionaries from places Like America and Japan, although the stock is slightly overpriced it is well worth as you cannot get these things in the U.K normally, such as Razzles which come from America. There are many unusual sweets like scorpion lollipops, there are also American cereals like Lucky Charms and Fruit Loops which are very tasty. Cyber Candy also stocks many drinks such as a Futurama Slurm energy drink and a Simpson’s Duff energy drink. Overall this shop is a great place to go and almost anyone will find a treat. I recommend this shop to everyone.

Cyber Candy is one of my favourite shops in London. I always try to grab something unknown to me upon every visit. This way I have discovered some all-time favourites. Some of the packaging is very cute and makes very nice and original gifts. They sell everything from peanut butter Twixs, Lucky Charms, strawberry Kit Kats and cartoon branded sweets (The Moomins - my fave, and Hello Kitty). My only complaints are that they always seem to close very early and the prices aren’t cheap. The staff always look quite bored and unapproachable but are nice once you start talking to them.

Wow… this shop is amazing!! Get all the goodies that you can’t usually find over in the UK!! I go here for the White Chocolate Ressess sweets! There from NY/US and that are amazing.. you struggle to find them else where… You can get White Chocolate Cups with Peanut Butter in the middle.. there amazing.. Think its was around £1.50 for 2 cups which are fairly large.. but is well worth the money! So if your in London check out this place.. you will be in “sweet heaven”

The joys of international candy in one shop in London, what more could you ask for. the number of flavours of sweets already available in the UK is small compared to the US and canada, example: Peanut Butter Twix(US) or Mocha flavour KitKat(US). Also they have a fridge of US sodas and energy drinks (Slurm and Family Guy brand)

The prices can be somewhat dear £0.90-1.20 a bar and £1.20 a can but the tastes of these products almost makes up for the high prices.

So in your in London, check out this shop.

The only place I’ve ever seen that sells Duff beer, well, not the alcoholic stuff, but the branding is to the T if you’re ever dressing as Homer for a dress up.

There are sweeties from all over the world in this store - and you really do feel like a little kid looking at all the bright colours on the shelves. The only slight reality check is that you pay for the privaledge, with many of the sweeties costing quite a bit. But that’s often the price of nostalgia and new things, so stick your head in if you’re in the area.

Cyber candy is really cool if you want to find something you remember from childhood, like lucky charms, or want to Americanise your candy consumption somewhat - think everything with peanut butter!

It is very colorful and attractive inside, and you could spend hours just browsing all the different sweets.

The one negative comment I will add, is that it gets VERY HOT in there in the summer, which puts me off buying the chocolate a little, as I imagine it must have melted a number of times over.

Worth a visit, if just for the novelty - don’t take kids there, as you will never get them to leave!

So pleased was I to find this candy filled castle. I managed to pick some all time favourites such as Brazil nuts, sherbet lemons and liquorice allsorts. Some unusual finds were thrown in the mix too. These included: banana chocolates, yoghurt coated raisins and chocolate stones. The shop has a Japanese vibe about it, selling Hello Kitty and Japanese chocolates on sticks. Slush puppies are sold in every flavour going. This is the best pick’n’mix shop in the world or atleast mine.
